Oh, maybe that's it. I don't think I have any devices in the house capable of displaying more that 1080p, and I don't use YouTube for any content where that'd matter. That's interesting, though; I wonder if that's a limitation enforced by YT on third party apps.
The higher resolutions on YT have higher bitrate, so even on a 1080p screen the 1440p and 4K options look a lot better.
